Effects of the carbon source on the physiology and invertase activity of the yeast FT858.

FT858 is an industrial yeast strain with high fermentative efficiency, but marginally studied so far. The aim of this work was to evaluate the biotechnological potential of FT858 through kinetic growth parameters, and the influence of the concentration of the substrate on the synthesis of the invertase enzyme. Invertases have a high biotechnological potential and their production through yeast is strongly influenced by the sugars in the medium.
